Episode 187- Eric Goldschmidt..Don’t limit yourself by being a one-trick-pony
Erics bio :
Working as a candle maker for a few years, Eric’s interest
in molten media was born in 1993. After three years of working with
wax, flameworking found him. In 1996, Eric’s roommate set up a
torch in their garage and Eric became captivated by the processes
and possibilities of flameworking. Throughout the past 21 years he
has devoted his efforts to practicing and developing the techniques
of several well-known glass instructors, while studying and
assisting with many of the World’s most talented glass artists.
These experiences have given him a vast array of techniques from
which to draw. He combines this wealth of knowledge with his own
interests in the subtle energies of the natural world, delicate
forms, and the capture of raw human emotions to create original new
works.
Eric held the position of Resident Flameworker at The
Studio of The Corning Museum of Glass for six years where he was
able to share his knowledge and passion for glass with thousands of
students and museum visitors. He then worked with Arribas Brothers
Company where he designed, developed, and produced works at Walt
Disney World. He returned to The Corning Museum of Glass in the
spring of 2008 to accept a position as Team Leader of the
Flameworkers, and he is currently the Supervisor of Properties of
Glass Programs. This position allows him to develop demonstrations
that help to educate, inspire, and spread the word of the very
fascinating glass World to hundreds of thousands of visitors per
year. Of course, Eric will always be dedicated to the expression of
his own voice through his favorite medium of glass. He continues to
exhibit his work and teach both in the United States and
abroad.
